I'd like to hear more about your experience, Karen. What you have shared here concerns me, as it suggests that there was a great deal of focus on the student's disability, but perhaps not so much on her strengths. What was the student's disability, and what kind of program was she trying to pursue? There are certainly times when a student's disability will simply preclude the possibility of successfully completing a program of study, but it might be useful to discuss the situation and see if we can brainstorm some ideas of things to try in a similar circumstance the next time.
